Happy new year! (2025 edition)

I know I'm a few days late, but I'd like to wish an extremely happy new year to all readers of the Charles Fudgemuffin blog!

Or if you're not a regular reader, and you just somehow ended up here randomly by mistake, then I also wish you a moderately happy new year, I suppose.

Exercise.
A popular new year's resolution.
Anyway, to start the year off on a new year theme, here's a round up of tips, facts and jokes loosely related to the new year.

1) This year my new year's resolution is to finally go to the gym...

...and cancel that membership I wasted my money on last year.




2) Top tip for dad joke lovers:

Order a takeaway at 11:59pm on New Year's Eve, and when it arrives say, "Do I get a discount on this, because I've been waiting since last year!"




3) This year I'm going to try to be less condescending.*

* Condescending means to talk down to people.




4) The popular song 'Auld Lang Syne' commonly sang around the world to celebrate the new year is a Scottish song which literally translates as 'Old Long Since', or 'Times Gone By'.




5) Gone but not forgotten...



R.I.P. 2024

(2024 - 2024)




6) My new year's revolution is to never use autocorrect again.




7) Why did the employee lose his job at the calendar factory?

A German calendar.
For the benefit of anyone who doesn't speak German,
Oktober means October, and Dezember means December.
He took a day off.




8) Top tip for people on a budget looking to save money:

In 2025, you'll be able to reuse calendars from the years 1902, 1913, 1919, 1930, 1941, 1947, 1958, 1969, 1975, 1986, 1997, 2003, and 2014.




9) Here are my 11 new year's resolutions:

* Never make resolutions.
* Accept paradoxes.
* Use the binary number system more often.




10) To round things off, here are some of my favourite posts from the past year...

Posts, pictured last year.

That's it for this week. I hope everyone has a fudgetastically muffinabulous new year and that 2025 is a year to remember for all the right reasons (despite our traitorous governments inevitable best efforts to make it otherwise).




In all seriousness, here are a couple of my favourite posts from 2024:
